A tool to monitor hard drive power state?

[gnarr]

I have a Windows Server 2012 R2 with 10 hard drives.

I have configured windows to allow the drives to spin down when not being accessed, but I'm not sure that they really are spinning down, as I never hear them spinning up.

 

Therefore I have been looking for a tool to monitor the drives to see which drives, if any, are spun down, but I haven't been successful in finding one yet.

 

Do you guys know of a tool that can provide me with this information?

Try HWinfo they have a tool to check the percentage of read/write usage of the drives in real time and a bunch of other sensors such as temps and other things, not sure if it will work flawless in server applications but I don't see why it wouldn't.

Thanks, this tool is great but it seems to me that it doesn't show any info on HDD power state.
